Metropolitan Police officers form a cordon at Parliament Square to prevent protesters reaching Westminster Bridge during a Free Palestine Coalition demonstration in central London, January 6, 2024

THE Metropolitan Police has yielded to demands that tomorrow’s protest for a Gaza ceasefire should end in Whitehall following pressure from campaigners.

Organisers had warned that the force was threatening to put obstacles in the way of the national day of action in central London.

The Met is yet to agree to the organisers’ request for a second stage to ensure public safety during the march.
